Re: Replacing Linux with Windows, based on *cost*?

"Given that most people are familiar with Windows" --- big_D

Which version of Windows would that be? IMHO, with the exception of the Gnome->Unity change in Ubuntu, Windows changes just as much from the user perspective as Linux.

And, I know it's harsh, but many of the people I have spoken to who consider themselves "familiar with Windows" are really nothing of the sort --- they tend to be the people who are confused with being given a new browser or, quite pertinently, a different Office program.

I'd love to know how they're actually training their users at the moment because I just can't see why the training costs would be so high.
